Take time from your busy lives to enjoy developing your creative skills through the simple and mindful process of creating designs on fabric with stitch.

You will create small textiles pieces which you can include in your own work. Materials and thread will be provided but there may be a small charge. Please bring along basic sewing equipment and threads, and anything else that you would like to include in your work.
